Figure 5From: T1-mapping in the heart: accuracy and precisionThe estimate of T1 using SSFP based MOLLI 5s(3s)3s is sensitive to T2 with increased underestimation error at lower values of T2 which results in a T1 map which has a small degree of T2 weighting. For native myocardium, an increase of 100% in T2 from 45 to 90Â ms results in an increase in the apparent T1 of approximately 4%.Back to article page
